The D.H. Lawrence Collection consists four series: correspondence, notebooks, manuscripts, and periodicals. The letters are grouped by correspondent and arranged chronologically. Almost all of Lawrence’s letters are fully dated and occasional transcriptions accompany them. The manuscripts donated by Dr. Butler are in chronological order by the date of publication. Two additional manuscripts, “The Crown” and “Democracy,” both donated by the Friends of the Library, are included in the Butler collection, although they have been cataloged separately.
